The MTA wasn’t planning to have congestion pricing up and running until the end of 2023, but other actions to keep the program on track were expected this year. They’re now on hold … again.
Traffic in Manhattan's Times Square in April 2019.MTA chair Janno Lieber sounded exasperated at May’s MTA board meeting when asked if the agency would complete its environmental review— the plan to charge drivers that enter Manhattan below 60th Street — by June in order to stay on its own schedule.
The FHWA questions will ensure that the environmental assessment is airtight and prevent the project from being stalled even longer, a federal Department of Transportation employee who is familiar with the project told Gothamist. The person asked not to be named because they’re not authorized to speak publicly about this project.
“I’m committed to getting it done. Our environment demands it. This region demands it. And yes, it should’ve happened long ago,” she said.Even if congestion pricing was to move forward, opponents of the program are likely preparing to file or join any lawsuit to the program. “It’s about time that we start to carve out some incentives for people to remain here in New York City, and not flee the way they have been,” she said. “I don’t believe it will work, in fact I believe it will make the city more unmanageable to travel through.”
The MTA and federal officials hope to avoid that fate with a process that follows every rule along the way.
